Accurate addressing is critical for emergency responders to reach you quickly. Here’s what you need to know:
Mark your driveway with stakes and red ribbon
When requesting a 911 address, please provide:
Road name or number
Closest neighbors’ 911 addresses
Whether you are building a new house or moving a mobile home
Previous residents (if applicable)
Current structures or landmarks at the location
Whether driveway is new or existing
Whether you share the driveway with any other residents
Our team visits your location to assign the correct address using precise measuring instruments.
Addresses are calculated so that every 5.28 feet corresponds to one address number (5,280 feet = 1 mile).
Even-numbered addresses are on the right side of the road; odd-numbered addresses are on the left, starting from the road’s beginning.
Emergency vehicles rely on your 911 address to find you quickly.
Make sure your house number is posted clearly and visibly, at least 4 inches tall, either on your home or at the end of your driveway.
Your 911 address is also your official mailing address (except for P.O. Boxes).
Always update us if your information changes (residents, phone numbers, or structures).
Never share your assigned address with others; each residence must have its own.
If you move, your previous address stays with the location.
